Default Convert Word to pdf: PDF bigger!?

The only way to limit the size would be to reduce the quality of the images
to the minimum necessary. If this is only going to be viewed on screen, then
reducing them to 72dpi is sufficient. If they are to be printed, then try
150dpi. Anything higher will greatly increase the size of the document and
PDF.

Hi,
I have a WORD-doc which contains some scanned images (jpg). The filesize
of
this doc is 1,28 MB.

I tried to convert this doc into pdf by CutePDF and CreatePDF, which
works.
Unfortunately the resulting pdf is always _bigger_ than the
original doc (3,03 MB, 7,20MB).

How can I create a pdf which is smaller than the original doc?

Kind Regards,
